Removing a pickguard from a Hofner Ignition

I'm really interested in getting one of those sweet black Hofner Ignitions, but I think the white pickguard kinda ruins the look.
I couldn't really find any videos or links detailing removal of the pickguard.
Could someone link me with some instructions, pictures, etc..

Very straight forward! Just look for the screws. It's been years since I took the pick guard off of mine, but simply unscrew the two or three screws carefully so you don't nick the finish. It is that simple. Put the guard, the rubber grommet and the screws in a bag to not lose them and you are done.

There will be 2 holes on the front of the bass (one next to the bridge pickup and one near the neck) and one hole on the lower side (for the metal part). I agree that the screw holes do not look bad. I took the pg off of mine (a sunburst) and have ignored the holes. If you remain concerned, find black screws or something else to put in the holes.

I don't think four bumps without a reply is impatient.
But what I meant is a photo of a black one without the pickguard.

4 bumps in two days, especially weekend days which aren't high-traffick days, is a bit excessive. Maybe someone will have a picture today. The black model is much less popular than the sunburst so not too many people have it.
